...take a whole bunch of relatives you haven't seen in a long, long time... ...make a batch of amazing pizza dough and a bunch of toppings to make scrumptious pizzas in the wood fired oven with. ...have Arizona deliver a breathlessly beautiful day...robins egg blue skies, flower scented breezes, fresh green leaves on trees budding out and things to pick in the garden... ...and laugh and talk and eat pizza and remember and dream and eat pizza and hug and enjoy and eat pizza...
...and be so utterly exhausted that you feel almost boneless like a small child just waking up from a nap...
...and be so exquisitely happy that you had another perfect day of a three-day in a row weekend of almost total perfection.
For some weird reason I decided to tell everything backward...so tomorrow is going to be the surprise wedding. Which might take two posts...it was soooo amazing and romantic and unique!
Don't forget to enter the giveaway for the "Too cool for school clock"!
And now, since I am almost boneless with tired...I'm gonna wiggle my way down the hall on my stomach and go watch some inane TV.
Sigh.

ReplyDeleteinane tv on a sunday night is a must! perfect way to wind down after a busy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a weekend you've had, Jenny. I think it'll take you all next week to unwind!
ReplyDeleteIts been a long time since I had a day like that with family, and in my book they are just as much fun as a snow-day--And I am crazy about snow-days!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteMatlock, I love your whole outdoor area - and the pizza oven? Chef Stu would have a party with that baby!
ReplyDeleteHe grills pizza sometimes. Have you ever had pizza done on the grill. YUM.
How many days of rest will you give yourself after the momentous weekend? You worry me.
O.M.G. that is the greatest post! Exactly how I love spending warm weekends...with family and food.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are amazing!!
I L-O-V-E that oven!! Awesome.
I am so glad that you had a perfectly fun and exhausting day!!!
ReplyDeleteI miss AZ!!!
You're right, Jenny. That is a marvelous way to spend a Sunday. What I wanna' know, though is why you didn't just hop on your horse and run summa' that pizza up my way? I would've enjoyed it at least as much as you and your friends did.
ReplyDeleteI have a life-size image of you wiggling your way down the hall. I'll be laughing all day.

ReplyDeleteI think I'm caught up reading all your posts. I was dying to see how the party turned out. It looks like such fun with the airplanes all around. I am so glad that you were happy with the way everything turned out. Your dad looks cute in his tux. The pizza looks wonderful and I'm so jealous of your good weather.

Jenny, I think I am going to have to opt out of this alphabet thing. Again, I've screwed up. I spent over three hours on this post, uploading pictures from various sites, making sure they were domain free, etc, and then, again, I did the Mclinky thing and I though I was putting my blog address in right and I guess I didn't.
ReplyDeleteMy post is "C is for California" and I put:

What should I have put?
